Thoughts Leave Impressions

Distressed in the mind
Lost in the notion
Leaving me blind
From all the commotion

How to sort out
These thoughts in my brain
What’s this about
A runaway train

To many thoughts
Built up so I’m full
Running to spots
Like some big angry bull

With my every idea
Its hard to stay sane
Like the stripes of a zebra
They are never the same

Thoughts leave impressions
To deep to ignore
Some are recessions
You may have to explore

Some ideas are golden
And some are just nuts
Some you may have to pardon
From the mind of a putz

Each notion has rules
That we need not ignore
Even you fools
Of this I implore

Can ideas fly high
Or be trapped in a den
My thoughts say goodbye
Though I’ll see you again
